At Hockey Nova Scotia, safety is our number one priority. We ensure that the game is organized and played in the safest manner possible.

Our policies require that coaches, managers, trainers and board members complete a Criminal Record and Child Abuse Registry check, complete the mandatory course, Respect in Sport for Coaches/Volunteers, and have a Hockey Canada Certified trainer on the bench at all times.

Players are protected by major liability, medical and dental policies. Abuse and harassment guidelines are also in place for all to respect and follow.
